A trace of fishy sweetness appeared in Xu Shao's throat.

Why don’t these fools with eyes understand my difficulties at all? You are trying to force me to death.

Xu Shao has always regarded himself as a leader of public opinion, but now he is threatened by public opinion and slides step by step towards the pit that Sun Ce has dug for him and cannot control himself. Only then do he realize that what his brother said is the ultimate truth and respect for the public opinion is by no means recommended by sages. The Master said that only the wisdom of the superiors and the foolish are unwavering. These fools think that they can list the doors and walls of saints after reading a few words of books and pass on the saints' careers, but they are foolish after all, and they are unclear right and wrong, and are born to be exploited by others.

Xu Shao realized something for a moment, and he wandered around and forgot where he lived.

Seeing that Xu Shao didn't say a word, everyone gradually realized that something was wrong and calmed down. Countless eyes were turned to Xu Shao.

Sun Ce was a little nervous. His body, which had originally leaned forward, leaned back and tapped the lacquer case gently. If Xu Shao changed his mind on the spot and decided to end it, he would inevitably have to bleed five steps today. Runan is Yuan Shu's base camp, but his advantages are all on Yuan Shao's side. Since he can't grab people's hearts, he should settle for the second best, grab some money and land, settle the Yellow Turbans on the spot, and fight with Yuan Shao.

But in this way, Runan will basically be abandoned and will have to retreat to Shouchun and Hefei.

It’s a pity that this good place is a good place. If the population of more than three million and complete water conservancy facilities can be controlled in their hands, their strength will not be worse than that of Nanyang. It’s a pity that there is no danger to defend and is suitable for cavalry. It is ultimately a place of battle.

Just fight, fight, anyway, it’s not ours, so it’s all over.

As his mind was about to settle, the smile on Sun Ce's face gradually closed and his eyes gradually became cold.

Xu Shao, who was staring directly at him, suddenly got furious and woke up from his sacred tour. He saw Sun Ce at one glance, his heart tightened, looked around, and saw countless pairs of eyes staring at him. Only then did he realize the predicament in front of him, and he couldn't help but sigh.

A sigh made everyone look at each other. Xu Shao, as the leader of the Shilin in Runan and one of the two dragons of Pingyu, has always been passionate. When has he been so depressed? It seems that he was forced by Sun Ce's power, otherwise he would not have been like this.

Just when countless people sympathized with Xu Shao, Xu Shao raised his head and bowed to the righteous and frank young scholar. "I really misunderstood. General Sun did not coerce me. Everyone, you should have read General Sun's recruitment order issued, have you ever noticed the three reasons General Sun said?"

Everyone was talking about it. Sun Ce's recruitment order had already been passed through the whole province. Of course they had read it, but he didn't know what Xu Shao suddenly mentioned it. Is his dispute with Sun Ce related to this?

"Shao's argument with General Sun on that day was based on one of the reasons..." Once Xu Shao spoke, he did not hesitate anymore and told the situation that day in its original form. How did he attack Sun Ce's eyes without the court? Sun Ce ridiculed him as a frog in the well, and how did he tease him? Finally, it involved the study of human ethics appreciation, telling it in detail, in detail.

Everyone suddenly realized the dream. Although some people suspected that Xu Shao was coerced by Sun Ce, most of them had believed it. Because the details were rich and the logic was clear, there was no need for Xu Shao to make up such a story to humiliate himself.

To be fair, although Sun Ce was rude, his counterattack was understandable. Xu Shao questioned his orders, and if he didn't fight back, he would be unable to execute his power. After thinking about it carefully, although his three reasons did not mention the court, there was nothing wrong with Xu Shao's suspicion of his questioning.

What's wrong with the peace of the world, protecting the people of Runan, and providing Runan talents with the opportunity to stand out? The only bad thing is probably that Sun Ce does not attach enough importance to scholars, only recruiting troops, but not asking for talent orders. However, this is understandable. Sun Ce was born as a warrior and now there is a war imminent, so of course military priority should be given.

The truth was revealed, and the gathering anger dissipated unknowingly. Since Xu Shao was not wronged, Sun Ce suffered some grievances, so this party was meaningless. Everyone stood up one after another and prepared to leave, but because Xu Shao had not left yet, they could only bear it for the time being.

Xu Shao wanted to leave earlier than them. He was embarrassed to throw it to this point, and he didn't want to be stunned for a moment. He pulled out the seal on his waist and sent it to the young scholar, indicating that he would return it to Sun Ce. He stopped doing Gongcao, whoever liked to do it would do it would do it.

The young scholar sent the seal to Sun Ce. Xu Shao bowed his hand, turned around and left.

"Let's wait!" Sun Ce shouted loudly.

Xu Shao stopped, turned to look at Sun Ce, and said word by word: "General Sun, I have made it clear. From now on, no one will wrongly accuse the general. I am in poor health and can no longer serve as Gongcao. Please choose another wise man with Qiao Prefect. Is this okay?"

"It's a pity that you resigned from Gongcao, but there is no problem with love." Sun Ce got up from the table and walked slowly to Xu Shao with a smile. Want to leave? You think so simple. I have set up such a big stage for you, and you can't leave without having enough play. "Thank you for explaining the facts and clearing my grievances. Please allow me to express my admiration for Xu Jun's noble character."

After Sun Ce finished speaking, he bowed and was very modest.

Xu Shao was stunned. He was used to Sun Ce's arrogance and rudeness, and was very uncomfortable with Sun Ce's politeness. Everyone saw it, but they were very satisfied. Although Sun Ce was a martial artist, he was still reasonable. After being wronged, he did not cause trouble for Xu Shao, but just asked him to explain the situation. Now that he made it clear, he still had to express his gratitude to Xu Shao. It was not easy. Although he had taken the position at a young age, he was very polite and had a mind. He could not be regarded as a warrior.

Guo Jiayin was behind the pillar and watched Sun Ce’s performance, and nodded repeatedly. “Just acting unintentionally is better than these vulgar scholars.”

Du Xi looked at him and sneered: "Fengxiao, it's not too late to praise you later."

"You have to praise what you should praise, why wait?" Guo Jia shook his head again. "It's a pity that even if he is respectful to the wise and polite, he still lacks the fire compared to Yuan Shao. These scholars from Runan will not support him."

Du Xi frowned slightly, and he was not in the mood to argue with Guo Jia. Although Xu Shao was forced to explain the truth in front of everyone, he did not bow to Sun Ce and resigned on the spot to show his disagreement. Sun Ce still could not get the support of Runan Shilin. Compared with Yuan Shao, his reputation in Shilin was too weak and too bad. Nanyang people were caught by him because of betrayal of Yuan Shu. This was short-sighted. Runan people did not have such a handle in his hands. He really had no chance to use it except for using man.

Du Xi pulled Guo Jia and signaled him to appear. Guo Jia understood and came forward side by side with Du Xi and came to Sun Ce.

Hearing the footsteps, Sun Ce turned around and saw that it was Du Xi. He was very happy. Just as he was about to speak, Du Xi winked at him and said loudly: "Dingling Du Xi, I heard that the general is recruiting talents and I will come to see you."
